Welcome to the Royal Caribbean Blog podcast, a weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host Matt Hodgeberg, and this is episode number 84.

If you were to ask me, what is the coolest new tech innovation Royal Caribbean has rolled out recently?

Well, I think it has to be the wow bands.

Wow bands are Royal Caribbean's forward-thinking way of making our life as gets simpler on board,

and this week, I want to take a deep dive into what wow bands are, how they work, and what

we can expect from them in the future.

Here we go.

There was a lot of news and information that came out of quantum in the season when Royal Caribbean

rolled that ship out late last year, in fact.

And there was so much on this ship from the Bionic Bar, high-speed internet, the Cs, came out of Quantum of the Season when Royal Caribbean rolled that ship out late last year, in fact.

And there was so much on this ship from the Bionic Bar, high-speed internet, the C-Plex, the giant magenta bear on top of the ship, North Star.

I mean, there was just so much that was on this ship.

And I think kind of lost in the shuffle a little bit, if you can believe it, are something

that's brand new to Royal Caribbean called Wow Bands. And this is something that was, again, introduced on quantum of the seas, but it is coming

to all Royal Caribbean ships eventually.

It's going to be really starting with some of the newer ships that are coming off the line,

but I definitely believe this is going to be rolled back across the fleet sooner or later.

So I figured, you know what, let's talk about them now.

Let's get that information out there and let's explore everything.

So that way, when it is on your next Royal Caribbean Cruise, you are prepared for them.

Okay, what are wow bands?
